Ye Feng quickly made his way to the back courtyard, walking along the corridor from the main hall. Discover hidden stories at empire

    Yet before he even entered the conference hall, he could already hear Cui Hao''s roaring voice from inside.

    "Yin Songping, your Yin Family is truly harboring malicious intentions, daring to scheme swallowing up the assets of our major families. I must say, the appetite of your Yin Family is also outrageously large, isn''t it?"

    "The Yin Family is colluding with outsiders to strike against our families. Yin Songping, by doing this, are you not afraid of being annihilated by the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan?"

    At that moment, Yin Songping''s cold, mocking laughter could be heard: "Afraid of being annihilated by the Martial Alliance? Why should I be afraid? It''s not like I''m forcing you. It''s you who are willingly giving up your family assets to save your respective family heads!"

    "Wishful thinking!"

    Cui Hao angrily retorted with a cold voice, "Do you really think we are fools? You want to threaten us with this? Even if we don''t rescue the Family Heads, don''t even dream of us handing over our family assets!"

    Yin Songping sneered, "If it were only the heads of your families, of course you wouldn''t comply so easily."

    Cui Hao and the others demanded, "What do you mean by that?"

    It was then that the two so-called masters from the Western Region spoke up: "If those poisoned by Gu include you, and your lives are already in our hands, tell me, will you yield or not?"

    "You...what did you say, we''ve also been poisoned with Gu?" Cui Hao and the others were shocked once again.

    It was only at this moment that they fully came to their senses, gritting their teeth and saying with indignation, "I understand now. These two people, they are not any masters from the Western Region at all; they are from the Gu&Poison Sect. Your Yin Family, you''ve been in cahoots with the Gu&Poison Sect all along, haven''t you?"

    Yin Songping sighed with a smile, "Representatives of the families, now that you understand, isn''t it too late? I can tell you that it''s not just you few; all the direct lineage of your major families have been infected with Gu and Poison."

    "Just a word from the masters can take your little lives in an instant. So think carefully about whether you want your money or your lives!"

    Cui Hao and the others turned deathly pale. If what the other party said was true, then the situation was indeed grave.

    "Yin Songping, you old thing, you''re truly sinister and vicious!" Cui Hao appeared to grit his teeth in rage.

    Yin Songping burst into hearty laughter, "As the saying goes, a man without poison is not a true man. Blame yourselves for being too stupid, too naive. Of course, I''m not one to push too far.

    Cui Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Things have come to this, what can I do? Let''s leave it to fate then. If the heavens want to destroy us, then we must resign ourselves to our fate."

    The Yan Family representative said, "If we had known this would happen, why did we do it in the first place? If we hadn''t been so full of ourselves at the beginning, looking down on Mr. Ye and even offending him, how could we have brewed such a bitter outcome today!"

    Ye Feng, upon hearing this, knew the time was nearly right, and turned his head slightly to give a subtle signal to Seventeen behind him.

    Without saying a word, Seventeen immediately pounced forward and kicked the room door to smithereens with one foot.

    "Who? Who dares to barge into my Yin Family''s stronghold? Have you no desire to live?" the eldest son of the Yin Family, Yin Angli, suddenly exclaimed, even grasping a knife in his hand.

    The rest were also startled and hastily turned their heads to look outside, only to see a wheelchair slowly being pushed in, and upon it sat a young man with a stern face and a full beard.

    There was no expression on the man''s face, but his eyes were as cold and sharp as steel knives.

    "It''s Mr. Ye, thank goodness, he''s here, he finally came!"

    "Thank heavens, Mr. Ye, you''ve finally arrived, we are saved now."

    "Mr. Ye, we were wrong, we''ve realized our mistake, please save us. If you can save us, we are willing to hand over half of our family''s property!"

    Ye Feng did not look at them but instead stared intently at the two masters from the Gu&Poison Sect seated in the main seats.

    The two of them were sitting there in a Golden Blade posture, wearing wide black robes with their faces covered by a black veil, obscuring their features, but their eyes were as fierce as eagles''.

    Yin Songping was startled at first, but quickly regained his composure and with a cold snort said, "Ye Feng, you are the son-in-law of the Hong Family, and have nothing to do with these major families. Are you really intending to stick your nose in this business?"

    The two masters from the Gu&Poison Sect sneered, "A mere cripple at that, even if he wants to intervene, does he have the ability?"

    Ye Feng suddenly lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Patriarch Yin, you are mistaken. I didn''t come here to meddle in other''s affairs, nor am I here to save these major families."

    "Then what is your reason for barging in?" Yin Songping demanded.

    "I''ve come for one thing only, to kill you, and those two as well!"
